Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 742 A cat who knows how to shop

"I know you want to catch Peter and bring it to me, but it's almost useless. Peter is very cautious and smarter than you. You can't catch it. If you have a chance, find a way to help me get into Gryffindor The password for the common room, and I will go into the school myself and kill him."

In the dark tunnel, Sirius Black gently stroked Crookshanks' head with his rough hands, telling him what he needed and what he wanted to do. He knew the cat was very smart, but he wanted to rely on it to catch Peter's mouse, almost It is impossible, and Sirius Black hopes to kill Peter himself to avenge James.

"Meow!"

  Crookshanks gave a soft cry, as if to indicate that he would take care of Black.

   "By the way, there is one more thing, I hope you can help me."

Black took out a crumpled piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Crookshanks: "Harry's broomstick is broken, and I'm going to give him a new one for Christmas, but I can't walk into Quidditch I need you to give this letter to someone at the Hogsmeade post office to order an owl in Harry's name. As for Garen, I'll send him to Gringotts 711 No. My coffers to withdraw money, or refill him afterwards."

In fact, Black doesn't know whether this will be successful, but it seems that there is no better choice. If he turns into a dog and enters the post office with paper in his mouth, it will be very suspicious no matter how he looks at it. There will be big trouble.

  Clever Crookshanks is clearly a better fit for the job than he is.

  Crookshanks nodded and agreed to run for Black.

  One person and one cat walked along the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack, and Sirius Black let Crookshanks get out of the gap in the Screaming Shack with a note in his mouth.

  So, Hogsmeade village ushered in a cat named Crookshanks. Although it had never been to Hogsmeade, it did not prevent Crookshanks from finding the Hogsmeade post office.

  Behind the post office counter, the middle-aged wizard who was reading the "Daily Prophet" heard the sound and put down the newspaper in his hand. He was a little surprised why a cat ran to the counter with a note in its mouth.

   "A cat who came to the post office to deliver a letter?"

  The middle-aged wizard saw the cat put the note on the counter, looked at the cat in front of him curiously, and reached out to stroke Crookshanks' head, feeling very novel about this matter. He pointed to the note on the counter, and asked tentatively, "Are you going to send this thing out?"

  The cat shook his head.

   "Is this for me?" the man asked again.

  This time Crookshanks nodded.

   "Is it really for me?"

  The middle-aged wizard took the note, opened it and found that the note was really for himself.

   Moreover, the sender turned out to be the famous savior Harry Potter, which is amazing to think about.

The letter is very concise, probably Harry Potter intends to buy an owl, but for some reason, he can't find a suitable owl to help deliver the letter, so he can only ask the cat to help bring the note. As for Garen who bought the owl , he can go to Gringotts to pick it up by himself, or make it up again after receiving the owl, as long as he tells the cat the price of the owl.

   "What a smart little guy, he actually helps the master to buy things." The wizard stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's chin, and murmured, "However, he actually came to the post office to buy an owl, really..."

  The middle-aged wizard did not refuse the business in the end. Although this matter seemed miraculous, he didn't think anyone would be bored enough to send a smart cat to play tricks on him.

  The distance between Hogwarts school and Hogsmeade is not close, at least it will take a while to walk.

   What's more, he still has evidence.

   "Smart little guy, do you think you planted that owl?" The middle-aged wizard stuffed the note into his pocket, picked up Crookshanks, and walked towards the owls resting in the shop.

   Crookshanks walked around inside, and finally picked out a small owl in the store, which is the smallest owl in the post office.

  Looking at the back of a cat and an owl leaving, the middle-aged wizard murmured: "The cat must have the blood of a cat raccoon, forget it, it would be nice for that noisy little guy to have an owner."

  He was not afraid of the other party's repudiation at all, and until the other party paid Gallen back, the ownership of the owl still belonged to him.

  If the other party doesn't pay, it can fly back by itself at any time, and he doesn't think Harry Potter will make fun of his reputation, and there is no need for that, after all, it is Harry Potter.

Crookshanks returned to the Shrieking Shack with the little owl. When it slipped in through the gap, the owl was still watching from the outside. Finally, under Crookshanks' urging, it also slipped through the gap. Enter the house.

  Hearing the movement, the black dog lying in the shadow stood up, walked slowly to Crookshanks, looked at the little owl, and regained its human form.

   "You succeeded, thank you, Crookshanks." Sirius Black picked up Crookshanks, helped him smooth the hair on his body, then took out a note and handed it to the owl.

  Actually, Blake did not send a letter to the Quidditch boutique to buy Firebolts, but to Kreacher, a house-elf in his hometown.

Although Black doesn't like that guy very much, even he has to admit that the house elves will not betray their masters and will carry out their master's orders unconditionally. As the last member of the Black family, Sirius Black naturally became Kreacher's favorite. Owner.

   Sirius Black's younger brother disappeared when he was in prison, and his father Orion died of illness that year.

   At the time, Blake did not go back to the funeral.

   Later, during the time he was in prison, Narcissa Black, oh, should have called Narcissa Malfoy to inform him of the death of his mother, Walburga.

  He, Sirius Black, who was expelled from the Black family, finally inherited the wealth of the Black family. Thinking about it, I feel great irony.

  Black could even guess what expression Kreacher would show after receiving this note.

In fact, Black was right. After receiving the letter, Kreacher’s expression was really wonderful, as if a **** had been stuffed into his mouth, but he had no choice, because Sirius was the last heir of the Black family. , Kreacher had no choice.

  Want to take the gold coins of the Black family from the Gringotts vault, except for the actual owner of the vault, no one else can do it at all.

However, the house-elf's loyalty to his master is unquestionable, and Kreacher also brought Black's signature and message, causing the goblins of Gringotts to open the Black family's vault for him and take away enough gold coins to pay for the Firebolt .

   Well, and the gold to pay off that owl.

  As for the Ministry of Magic's arrest of Black, the goblins don't care at all, not to mention they can't make the house-elf betray their master.

As a result, the Quidditch boutique store ushered in a house elf, and soon there was an additional confidential order. They needed to send a Christmas gift to the famous Harry Potter on Christmas Eve. However, no one knows who actually ordered this gift for Harry.

   No one would have guessed that the infamous Sirius Black would give Harry Potter such an expensive Christmas present.
